Hey Everyone,

I ship for basic on July 15th which is a short 55 days away. I know they are really strict about what is allowed at basic and I was wondering if I was allowed to bring pictures or addresses of people who want me to write with me?!

Help would be greatly appreciated!
Heather

Thanks for the answer to the previous questions. Will I be able to take a journal and keep it or do I need to wait and get one when I go shopping at the PX? Also should I take stamps, stationary and writing things with me as well or pick those up at the PX also?

Last I heard, bring LOTS of stamps. From what I've read they become a currency of sorts among the recruits at basic. Don't quote me on that though. :P
